My vote:
Submission Number 1
-Theme:
The picture deals with the deeper meaning of contentment. I have to admit that my first thoughts, when I thought about "contentment + Zelda", were about the reunion of Anju and Kafei. I was a little annoyed when I saw that a certain person had already snatched that idea!
So yes, I think it perfectly fits the theme.
The embrace and the look on their faces really express the theme of contentment.
The only thing I don't like is the moon. I don't know I just would have liked it better without the moon. I think the moon gives the picture a second feeling of threat, which kinda takes away from the contentment feeling.
-Why I like it:
The coloring is beautyfull, as is the line art! :3
The blue and red colors go along very well, and the lovers mask and the pendant are nice details and symbols of Anju’s and Kafei’s story.
I also like the design of the "frame" it goes along well with the patterns on Kafei’s cloths and the lovers mask.
- What really catches my attention:
The hair is so detailed!! I mean, seriously I would never be patient enough to make such a detailed colouring. And the look on Kafei’s face is great; you can really see how he is feeling right now.
*Is still staring at the hair* *.*
Honourable mention: Submission 2
Very well done picture. Skilful usage of the lines to create the illusion fur and great anatomy. Sadly it does not really fit the theme of contentment that much, but other then that it’s a really good picture.
